Abstract

The increasing emphasis on integration among members of a supply chain has led to new mechanisms to help firms coordinate the flow of products, services, and information through the supply chain. Integration drivers are the factors that are able to accelerate or restrict the integration process. This research investigates the impact of internal and external drivers on supply chain integration process. For this purpose, 134 questionnaires which were collected from logistics’ managers of Qazvin province manufacturing companies have been used. So, the hypothesis tested by structural equation modelling (SEM) technique and partial least square (PLS) software. The findings of this research revealed that internal drivers have positive impact on supply chain integration and accelerate this process, but there is no positive relationship between external drivers and supply chain integration.
